The Rabbi's Daughter (2)

You are a Rabbi's daughter and as such you must obey,
Your father without question, unto his dying day;
If a Christian you should marry your father's heart would break,
You are a Rabbi's daughter, you must leave him for my sake.

From Folk Songs Out of Wisconsin, Peters
Collected from Miss Ewing of Pomona College, CA who said she
     heard it sung in Lansing, MI in 1902.
